the triangular metal piece on the handleand those "disc"; are they silver??? the handle seems to be made out of kamagong. pretty cool!

I really like the tack work, and the S PI metal "ear"/"cheek".

I cant get over how the upturned scabbard on the Mandaya bolos remind me of the pics Spunjer brought back of the Sanduko bolos. Particularly with the diety-esque pommel, cant help but think there is more than a coincidence.
